I haven't started working yet but I'll be working at House of Webster http:\www.houseofwebster.com

When my hubby had the machine shop and our boys worked there, in the summer they would say they have a case of worms and need to go see the dock.

Yeap, love Drunken Monkey Bread!!!

Drunken Monkey Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
3 lbs. frozen bread dough or rolls, not the partially bakes varieties (Rhodes)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 Tb. pumpkin spice spice (or 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon + 1/2 tsp. nutmeg + 1/2 tsp. clove + 1/2 tsp ginger)
2 1/2 sticks melted butter (1 1/4 cups)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Bourbon (Amaretto, Cognac, Brandy...)
Zest of 1 orange
Directions:
Place the frozen dough on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Spray a large sheet of plastic wrap with non-stick cooking spray and cover the dough. Allow the dough to thaw and rise for 3-5 hours, according to package instructions.
Once the dough has doubled or tripled in size, butter (or spray with cooking spray) a large bundt pan. Mix the granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. Then use kitchen sheers to snip the dough into 1 to 1 1/2 inch chunks. Dust the dough chunks with the sugar mixture and place in the bundt pan. *At this point, you can cover the top and refrigerate over night.
Move the oven rack to the bottom position and take out the other racks to give the monkey bread room to rise. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, liquor, and orange zest together in a large microwave safe bowl. Bring the mixture to a boil in the microwave--2 minutes. Then pour over the monkey bread dough and place in the oven.
Bake for 40-60 minutes, until the top is brown, crusty and rising over the top of the pan.

When we made it years ago, we would roll in the sugar and then into finely chopped nuts...needs the nuts.

That looks good. I make regular monkey bread with canned biscuits. I have never added all the other ingredients just rolled them in sugar and cinnamon then poured the melted butter and brown sugar.

sounds drunklishious

did someone say " drunklishious ?" mmmmmm

that be me

That sounds very much like my late brother's recipe......he made it when he would come home for Christmas. Drunklishious for sure...bring it on!!

Is it April yet?

can't we pretend its april

I don't see why not.

I vote we need a practice run.

I seconded that idea. Now when?

today, i'm packed, lets go

Is the list of planned attendees at the top up-to-date?

As far as I know it is. If anyone wants to be added to the list or deleted let me know.

Wow, that bread sounds sinful! I've had and made the biscuit one, but not the drunken one.. I wonder if you could make the biscuit one drunk? ;o)

you can make anything drunk

I believe it is very similar Joyce, I'm sure it would work with the biscuit one too.

mailed my check today.

thanks sue, but I wasn't worried about it. I trust you

thank you my sistah :)

sue, got the check.

Link to the list for food donations. We need to know who is bringing what, or we can go shopping when we get there?
